The Scottish manager, Clarke, expressed his dissatisfaction before the match against Portugal, stating that due to the delay in their flight schedule, the players did not get adequate rest.
It is understood that at the time, Clarke and the Scottish team were delayed for two hours at Glasgow Airport due to luggage issues, thus they only arrived in Portugal at 9 PM local time. Even more awkwardly, the military airport where the team landed was 100 kilometers away from the venue in Lisbon, leaving the players no choice but to switch to a bus late at night, further reducing their rest time.
Clarke was very unhappy about this but also stated that he would focus on the game first: “This is something we need to consider after the match. Now, we need to work hard to prepare. When we return home, I need to discuss this issue with the responsible parties. The team lost a few hours of rest time and ate dinner very late, but our excellent players can adapt and focus on the game, which I am not worried about.”
